Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his rival, Andrew Tate, demanded a weight clause be included in their upcoming showdown. Tate, aged 39, is gearing up for his professional boxing debut on December 20 against DeMoor, a former actor who transitioned into the boxing realm. Despite Tate’s background as a kickboxing champion, injuries hindered his career towards the end.
The announcement of Tate’s return to the ring came as a surprise, with him opting for a boxing match under the Misfits banner instead of kickboxing. DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion, poses a significant challenge for Tate. The tension between the two escalated during a press conference in Dubai, where Tate made a grand entrance on a boat, sparking a fiery exchange of words.
In a dramatic turn of events, DeMoor exposed a weight clause in their contracts, which he claimed was against his wishes. This revelation led to a heated confrontation between the two fighters, with Tate expressing disbelief at the weight restriction for a boxing match. The verbal sparring intensified as they debated the terms of their impending bout.
Meanwhile, in the boxing world, notable matchups like Anthony Joshua versus Jake Paul are creating buzz. Joshua faces a weight limit for his upcoming fight, aiming to stay under 245lb. Similarly, Paul, known for his cruiserweight background, is moving up to the heavyweight division for a high-profile clash with Joshua.
As the countdown to their fight continues, Tate, following in the footsteps of Paul, is focused on his training and taking the matchup seriously. DeMoor remains critical of Tate’s tactics, accusing him of fear and manipulation. The anticipated showdown between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.
